Drivers, probably; Owners, probably; Keyboard racers; why not. Maybe we need the Chuck Rayburn rule; if you don't have a car or haven't raced in 2 years, you got no vote. I know; let's go back to 1958 (my first race). Street tires 4" wide on a good day, mufflers, take the hub caps off, take the spare out and jack, who needs scales, any fuel that will fire, sleep under the race car you drove to the track, always run in pairs so a chain will get both cars home. Or maybe everyone should have a 69 Camaro which you can buy completely new in parts, and I bet you can't build it for the price of a new car. I think someone on here said there were 71 new cars at Indy, I wonder how many new 69 Camaro's were there. Now, how about a new thread on what to do with the 23 or so other races. Sure the FS needs some attention, but never throw out the baby with the bathwater which seems to be the theme here. I have some ideas (I always got some ideas), but I ain't going on this thread. Too many Great Whites here for this seal to swim in.

Sounds like we got you all fired up here today, Big Guy.
You got me a little confused though...I hadn't raced in four years, but I DID race once this year, but I don't own a Stocker right now. Well yes I do, but it's not complete yet, so you see where my confuson lies.

It doesn't much matter to me personally anyway. I have no agenda. I'm just offering suggestions for the good of the sport. As far as I'm concerned, NHRA ruined Stock Eliminator in about 1988 anyway.
If I decide to go to Indy next time, I won't be too worried about getting in the eliminator.

I don't want you to be upset any more today, so I can take my 1/2 vote and leave y'all alone now..It's beer :30 now anyway, isn't it?
